These Gender Injustices Prove Big Companies STILL Promote To Define Gender Stereotypes

Who is the head of marketing at these companies? There is no need for these kind of gender-specific products. From ear plugs to sunscreen — get ready to see 20 of the oddest products that were "specifically designed" for males or females.

Ear Plugs

Because everyone knows that men are totally in to ear plugs with skulls on them.

Tape

Regular tape is just too much for girls — they need it to be in a pink dispenser.

Pens

All girls love sparkly colors — because it's not like any other colors appeal to girls. At all. And especially all those obviously guy colors. Why else would Bic put out these pens designed for women?

Kleenex

Regular tissues are just too small for real men. These "mansize" tissues are built for a "man's nose".

Microscope

Clearly girls are only interested in science when the microscope is pretty. 

Chocolate Eggs

Girls can't like cars and boys can't like ponies — that's what Kinder apparently believes.

Toolset

Women aren't interested in regular tools, the neutral colors are just too much. Pink accents is obviously the only way a woman would buy tools, right?

Gift Cards

Can a boy use the girl gift card, or will the cashier not allow this to happen?

Tea

Because tea is clearly something that men and women differ on. 

Beer

Seriously? Whoever thought of this product must be out of their freaking minds.

Energy Drink

Girls will only drink sugar-free energy drinks. Girls must not be able to handle all the other options out there.

Sprinkles

A boy can't handle sprinkles in any color other than Blue or Green.

Electric Razors

The razors do the exact same thing. Why was there a need to switch up the colors?

M&M’s

They taste exactly the same, so what's the need for the gender separation?

Popcorn

Ah, yes. Creepy skulls is what all "tough guys" want to eat. Those seem much better than strawberries.

Sunscreen

This might be the most pointless gender-based product. What makes this sunscreen for men? Is it the black bottle?

Masks

You wouldn't want to be caught dead wearing the wrong mask. Better make sure you don't like the color Red if you're a man.

Deodorant

Not all men have "rugged" skin, and not all women have sensitive skin. Where do they get their information from?

Goldfish

Of course girls don't want to eat regular Goldfish. Girls only want to eat Goldfish that come in Pink bags and have tiaras on them.

Yogurt

Yogurt that's high in protein? That has to be only marketed towards men who workout. There's no other person who would want more protein in their diet.
